| - Sitting in this place makes me think of eating on the set of Seinfeld. I literally felt like I was in NYC having a snack at an old school jewish cafe. It's busy and everyone there was in their own little world. Either reading the papers, catching up with friends or stopping by to pick up deli meat, this place is worth checking out. However, if you came here for the bagels, fo'get about it, there are better things to have then the bagels. I was super stoked to check out this place but I have to say, I was a little disappointed.
The food is good. It's not amazing, its good. The service honestly, could be a lot better. I like sarcasm, I don't like to be patronized. I get it, you want people to feel like you're in NYC, but I still like good service, at any restaurant. I like the overall atmosphere. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat or just a whatever place to have breakfast or lunch, this is the spot.
They have a pretty big menu which is nice because it gives everyone an option. But, the one thing to have is the matzo ball soup. I've never had it before and I knew I had to try it. I can't imagine eating at any other place more Jewish than this.
It arrives and it steaming hot. The steam alone had flavor. It was so delicious. This broth had to have been made by a 90 year old grandma in their kitchen. It's everything chicken noodle soup needs to be, plus the matzo ball. If I was ever sick, this is the soup that I would want, hands down. The flavors were intense and then subtle and then suddenly you're reminded of sitting in grandma's kitchen being served soup. Oh, just writing about it makes me want to have some.
If you save room, you'll find that this place has a great pastry shop. All the sweets are gigantic, so plan on sharing. The deli bar is okay. I've had better service and sad to say quality at my local grocery store. It's sad because people can have a much better experience if this place started looking at how the staff treats the guests.
Ciao and until next time, have eating everyone :)
